Following meetings with the Parish Council and a successful pre-registration campaign, we have completed the deployment of a Fibre to the Cabinet solution to deliver superfast broadband to Essendine. The village previously suffered from poor broadband speeds averaging 0.5Mbps. We are now  delivering upto 40Mbps speeds.  Essendine, along with Lyddington, now has the fastest rural broadband speeds for any village in the UK delivered by existing telephone lines.We have received national publicity surrounding our success in Lyddington and Essendine and we are now widely regarded as the UK’s leading specialists of delivering superfast rural broadband using Fibre to the Cabinet technology.
